It turns out Jesse Jackson whispered something even worse than his desire to cut off Barack Obama’s manhood.
Fox News sources reveal that on an unaired portion of the tape, Jackson uses a vile racial epithet.
It turns out that what he actually said, according to Fox, was: “See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based – I wanna cut his nuts out. … Barack – he’s talking down to black people -- telling n------s how to behave.”
The longer exchange was first reported by TVNewser.com.
Fox sources say there are no immediate plans to air the additional portions of the tape.
Fox's Bill O'Reilly, who broke the "nuts" story, says the racial epithet was leaked by a "weasel."
Discussing the revelation with Fox anchor Shepard Smith, O'Reilly said he "held it back" because "it was not relevant to the general subject -- one civil rights leader disparaging another, over policy."
"We made a decision to hold back a remark that did not advance the story in any way, shape or form -- would have put Jackson in a worse position," O'Reilly said. "We don't want to hurt Jesse Jackson. We're not in business to do that. So we held it back. And then some weasel got the whole thing and leaked it out to the Internet, and here we are."

According to what I read.
He called Obama a half-breed Ni^^er.
“Come to think of it, what exactly IS the “N” word. Nobody says.”
Ninny.
For Fox, it’s a business decision. They are making nice now since they fear being locked out of access (e.g. boycotted) to Washington political figures in their coverage if the dems take the White House in addition to the Congress again in November.
If the dems win the presidency in November, expect further deterioration of Fox News.
HAHA! Is that O’Reilly’s official Free Republic name now? Ted Baxter? I love it. Got to hand it to Rush, he calls it right.
I’ve heard a couple variations on this story. Why not just release the tape and let the truth out?
That's disappointing. I like Ailes. I try to learn from him. But his letter was obviously not true by the time it got out. I don't get it.
The story has been picked up by a certain banned news service on FR and is running as the top news story. Also picked up on a number of their member paper’s sites.
The crAP is about to hit the fan for good ole Jessee “Hymie town” Jackson.
I am not sure what this does for the Obama campaign one way or the other.
Why would JesseHymieJackson call him a ‘nipper’?![/sarcophagus]
Damn, what an idiot I am. I forgot that Fox has to suck up in case the socialists continue to send this country down the shitter. Damn, I was stupid...pulling hair....see Chris Farley.
Why not release the tape?
Because FOX is in the “JESSE JACKSON REPUTATION PROTECTION BUSINESS” now.
But they do have some pretty "foxy" infobabes. /pun
Not as harsh as sporkweasel...
Rodger Ailes is either a Liar of the 1st degree or the Staff at FOX lied to Ailes to protect Jackson.
Ailes writes, “I can categorically deny that Fox News Channel is in possession of a tape containing the alleged statement supposedly made by Reverend Jackson.”
That apparently is not true.
Yikes!
I haven’t watched O’Reilly but a handful of times since he went out of his way to denigrate the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. And I just remembered that O’Reilly is the one claiming how out front he was in challenging Pepsi for using rapper Ludacris in its commercials because of the vile language the rapper uses including the n-word. Just a bit hypocritical (as in “just a bit outside”) how that word is now protected speech for Jesse Jackson according to O’Reilly.
Fox is on a hide the news tour. Earlier they didn’t find this so relevant.
I havnt watched BOzo since back then myself!
What is with the Drive-Bys? Do they really expect something noble out of the mouth of Jackson? Do they really think he is a real Minister?
